It’s more like the frustration of a kid waiting to open his birthday presents BUT the birthday is a week away. This IP was toast years ago. I was warned when I purchased this non-running vehicle that the IP was probably shot. It was worth a chance trying to get it going in order to save $2000...

He did. I was hard headed. 😂

Pics of what to do when you strip a hex head… Dremmel mini-disk to rip a straight line across the top of the stripped head, then use a flat head to twist out.

Well… bugger! IP is bad. Don’t know if woodruff key sheared or shaft broke. Engine was turning over and periodically slowed down. Then there was a metallic ping and the starter engine speed sped up. I spoke to Steve/RWH, and he gave me some amazing information which I used to see that the...

After uncounted delays, Hummer H1 finally lost a bet with his girlfriend because I showed up in California ready to work! New power steering hose installed. New batteries installed and wires and such cleaned and dielectric greased. New regulator installed. New fuel filter installed. Genius...

I’ve seen some use 5 and 10 lb persuaders to strike the deflated sidewalls of our tires to free them up from the rims before pulling apart.

BLK is an awesome member. He has also made it clear that he removed his Slantback ages ago. I have no doubt that either something is out of alignment OR something is bent. You need an assistant. You need heavy magnetic handles to lift the hatch up and out. You need to measure and realign...

Do I really need to do it? nopics

Always double check with an accurate multimeter

Have you verified they are properly functional?

Don’t push the Red button. Start with fluid level and replacing tranny filter.

SATELLITE TELEPHONE! Or iPhone 14/15 for emergency satellite call for help. Filter straw to drink unpurified water. A set of clean dry clothes and jacket in a 5 gallon ziplock bag. 10 gallons of water. Terlet paper in a ziplock. Air horn and bright light source.

When I received my M1025 the tires were like Steve Buscemi’s teeth. An alignment later and she was queen of the road.

Hummer H1 makes these trips all the time. Ask him when he gets back

Any boat shoppe can fix this. They also sell the stuff to clean the plastic windows to get rid of the cloudiness.

I couldn’t have said it better Dred… If you lived in Alaska, maybe hard doors or insulated doors. If you lived in Chicago, hard doors to help against theft.
